      sysfs: be careful of error returns from ops->show() · c8a139d0
      NeilBrown authored
      ops->show() can return a negative error code.
      Commit 65da3484 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.")
      (in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors
      would look like large numbers.
      As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the
      value of 'count', typically 4096.
      
      Commit 17d0774f ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs")
      (in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for
      memmove().
      Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the
      sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to
      user-space.
      If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove()
      with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways.
      
      This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md
      sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the
      brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from
      the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is
      scheduled on a workqueue - completes.
      Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show()
      After this, the ->show() won't be called.
      
      I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like
      	usleep_range(500000,700000);
      early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an
      md device md0 run
        echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
      
      The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

      Documentation: stable-kernel-rules: fix stable-tag format · cf903e9d
      Johan Hovold authored
      A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should
      be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the
      kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used
      prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question
      was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment).
      
      Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion.
      
      Fixes: fdc81b79 ("stable_kernel_rules: Add clause about specification of kernel versions to patch.")
